Help Wanted

I am a certified flight instructor. I have taught students from many countries and love international teaching. I heard of a new school starting up in Indonesia (a country I have never visited) and I decided to check it out.

I found the following  advert online:

LIFT - Lombok Institute of Flight Technology - Part 141 Flight School
The school, now established on the Selaparang Airport in the city of Mataram on the island of Lombok, is 60 miles East of Bali, Indonesia and is a tropical paradise surrounded by coral reefs, active volcanoes, lush verdant jungle, and some of the worlds most popular surfing spots.
The School has recently started its First Training Class, and is currently recruiting for its Second Class Intake which will start in October 2011. LIFT is housed within a new dedicated hangar and office facilities, and is based on a low-volume international airport with a 6,863ft runway.
Courses being offered include ab-initio to advanced flight training, using a growing fleet of the most modern aircraft available including the FADEC-equipped IFR Certified Liberty XL2.
RedBird advanced technology flight simulators have also being purchased for effective ground-based training, and will arrive in October 2011.

Benefits: 
The appointments come with an attractive after-tax compensation package in US$, including competitive salary, housing allowance, medical-insurance, annual international travel allowance, etc.
 Note: If you believe you need a Starbucks or McDonalds on every corner to survive, you probably don't want to apply for this job (even though we have those in Indonesia). And if you've never travelled outside of a country like the USA, UK, or Western Europe, you may need to give this opportunity some serious thought before applying.

This is your chance for a well-paying aviation career,
living in paradise and becoming part of a professional
 team, building a professional flight training facility from the ground up!
